The Maddox Firm LLC - Hackensack, NJ

Operating from our office in Hackensack, New Jersey, The Maddox Firm LLC is devoted to representing individuals facing short-term disability claims, long-term disability claims, long-term disability appeals, long-term disability litigation and ERISA litigation. Our approach centers on meeting clients wherever they are in the claims process, whether they are simply weighing whether to file or already contesting a denial.

We concentrate exclusively on disability matters because this area of law rewards depth over breadth. Carriers deploy dedicated teams to scrutinize and, when possible, curtail benefit payments. Countering that requires fluency in policy language, clinical evidence, appellate deadlines and the federal framework that governs most group disability plans.

Many who come to us are established professionals – executives, consultants and business owners – whose benefit amounts run into the thousands each month and whose careers rest on physical endurance, mental sharpness or emotional stability. Our caseload spans chronic illness, autoimmune disorders, neurological impairment, musculoskeletal injury, mental health conditions and lingering post-viral syndromes, including presentations that lab results alone cannot fully capture.

Having engaged with virtually every leading name in the disability insurance industry, we understand the tactics insurers use to question or minimize legitimate claims, and we know how to respond. We prioritize transparency, walking clients through the reasoning behind a denial, the proof that carries weight, and what outcomes are genuinely achievable.

Although rooted in Hackensack, our representation extends nationwide, since federal law governs the majority of disability disputes regardless of where a client resides. We offer flat fees for standard claims and contingency arrangements for appeals and litigation, ensuring clients can move forward with clarity about cost while we manage the complexity of their case.
